I love seeing stories like this.

A little girl named Annie Clark got a trophy and $1000 for being one of two winners of the "Nicholas Maxim Special Award for Excellent Penmanship." Not a big deal, you say? What if I told you she had no hands?

This 7-year-old girl writes by putting a pencil between her arms. That's how she feeds herself, paints her toenails and other normal activities.

The award(s) mentioned above are given away each year. Apparently, no one knew there was a special category for disabled students until after Annie won penmanship awards at her school and they sent it to the competition.
